Hi!

I=20 don't know if this behavior is an NT portation issue, or an issue with = the base=20 GNU tools.

If I=20 issue:

cp=20 ./test.c .

I end=20 up with a 0 length file!

I know=20 this may be a silly use of the cp command, but this exact sequence = happens=20 because of the rules I have in a Makefile. Under unix, cp will = complain=20 that the files are the same, and not do anything.
